The 4th of July is right around the corner - it really snuck up on me this year! Independence day has always been one of my favorite holidays. What's not to love about fireworks, outdoor parties and a good reason to make all kinds of delicious treats? Growing up, we always went to my grandma and grandpa's house to celebrate with our entire family. My cousins and uncles would usually go a little bonkers with the fireworks, which was usually pretty awesome to enjoy (if you block out that one year they did that one thing). Since I've met my husband, we have had some fun 4th of July's together and I'm hoping this year will be another happy one.

Above are some festive ideas for hosting a celebratory party. How cute are those little burger bite cookies!? And the corn dog cookies? I'd love to see the reaction of those who get to enjoy!

Not sure what to wear? Want to wear something a little festive but not end up looking like a block of cheese? Here are some style tips of ways to look the part without embarrassing us all :)
